All the systems in the series use the exact same cooling system (heat sink & fan)
At this point I doubt anyone has altered their system. And frankly I don’t recommend you do it either until your warranty coverage has expired. Even then there are risks! IF you don’t use the correct tools and techniques you can damage the display assembly just in the process of opening the system. You would need to fully remove the logic board to gain access to the CPU socket. The iMac heat sink is a bit tough getting back on and you could damage the logic board in the process.
Video Card is the biggest difference Radeon Pro 575X Vs a Radeon Pro 580X (I would want the better GPU)
So is the cost difference (aprox. $300) that much when you add in the added cost of the CPU, needed tools and supplies?

So is the cost difference (aprox. $300) that much when you add in the added cost of the replacement CPU, needed tools and supplies? I would just buy the better system if thats what you want.
